His gait was relaxed as he settled near her, his slightly over-sized head tilting as she began to speak. She explained she was hiding from her memories.

A cheeky grin would be offered, though he was unsure if she would appreciate his poetic thoughts. Áki was certainly not a creature of regret, and he knew it was just as easy to leave the past behind as it was to bring it up again.. but why bother? Angst was clearly not his forté. "My name is Áki. It is a pleasure, Mira." Grinning again, his tail would curl absently about his forepaws.
